This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics will support research into mapping the structure of hadrons using lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) simulations at Michigan State University from August 2022 through July 2025. LQCD allows for direct simulation of quantum chromodynamics on spacetime lattices using supercomputers, enabling the study of hadronic systems' properties from first principles with controlled uncertainties. The awardee will pursue...
This Project Grant award of $360,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at George Washington University to study the properties of three-particle quantum systems using lattice QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) methods. The project aims to improve the theoretical understanding of how strong nuclear forces bind nucleons together in atomic nuclei, by developing new three-body QCD...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a novel phase of matter that forms at extremely high temperatures or densities. The research, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations to investigate how heavy quark bound states respond to the quark-gluon plasma medium and the behavior of the strong force at...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,999 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Michigan State University (MSU) for the research activities of Professor C.-P. Yuan. The project aims to develop theoretical methods to extract critical information from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) theory, which is essential for interpreting experimental data from the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Key objectives include extracting updated parton distribution...
This Project Grant award of $100,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds the research activities of Professor Neil Christensen at Illinois State University. The research aims to advance the "constructive" approach for calculating scattering amplitudes, potentially replacing Feynman diagrams, in order to increase the efficiency and accuracy of background calculations for identifying new physics signals at the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $150,000 provides funding to Professor Luca Delacrétaz at the University of Chicago to conduct research on quantum field theory (QFT) beyond the relativistic vacuum. The research aims to deepen the understanding of QFT under extreme conditions, such as high density and temperature, which are difficult to describe using existing methods. The two main objectives are to constrain finite density phases that can emerge from interacting...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $135,000 in funding from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 for research activities led by Professor Sophia Domokos. The research aims to use the phenomenon of holographic duality to better understand and categorize structures formed by the strong interactions between elementary particles, such as protons and...
